==History==
The First Fleet was responsible for the protection of the First Lord and the SLDF High Command. This meant that the First Fleet spent much of its time deployed around [[Terra]] and the core worlds of the [[Terran Hegemony]], although only the three command squadrons were permanently assigned to the First Fleet; to keep the combat edge of the First Fleet high, the other vessels and squadrons that made up the First Fleet were rotated periodically with commands from other Fleets in more active areas.<ref name="H:LoTv1p46"/><ref name=fmsldf44/>

The First Fleet was officially homeported at the [[Titan Yards]] in the Terran System, but in reality the ships of this command would use whatever fleet resources happened to be nearby. However, any new ship that transferred into First Fleet had to go through the Titan Yards in order to undergo operational evaluation. Furthermore, all ships of the First Fleet had additional intelligence gathering capabilities.<ref name=fmsldf44/>
+
In addition to protecting the First Lord and the High Command, the First Fleet was intended to allow the High Command to manage the Star League, the military and any potential conflicts no matter their current location; to facilitate this, all four command vessels, the SLS ''Terra'', ''Star League'', ''McKenna's Pride'' and ''Enterprise'' were fitted out with specialist equipment to allow them to function as specialised command vessels. This equipment included a substantial array of intelligence gathering and communication elements, and allowed the vessels to act as mobile command headquarters.<ref name="H:LoTv1p46"/> Together with the two lead vessels of the [[2nd Fleet (SLDF)|Second Fleet]], the SLS ''New Earth'' and the SLS ''Caph'', these six vessels formed the Star League Emergency Command Post Network, or SLECoP.<ref name="H:LoTv1p46A">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 46, "Second Fleet"</ref>
